I have described these symptoms before in an other thread.
If it isn't heat, you've probably got a virus in you BIOS. Relax, and reflash your BIOS - you might want to go back a version number here. Reset Configuration Data, and it should work fine again. BTW, why use Handbrake, when dvdshrink is available. Just a note ;) Best, Soren Brian Weeden wrote:
Got another weird one. My HTPC has suddenly developed an issue where it turns it self off. Not crash, but completely powers off. And the only time it happens is when I ask it to encode video, such as using Handbrake. It gets a few minutes into the operation and boom. Everything else - surfing, ripping, 1080p playback, etc is perfectly smooth and fine. I'm thinking this could be power issue. My guess is that when both cores ramp up to full power to encode the video, the power supply can't handle it and it dies.
